I am honoured to be a part of H&M's designer collaborations. The work with their team is an exciting, fun process. They are very open to pushing boundaries and to set a platform for creativity. This will be a great way for a wider audience to experience elements of the Alexander Wang brand and lifestyle.

If you're designing out of a purely creative place, not thinking of the girl, then the consumer's not going to take notice.

No one ever taught me, and I never had formal classes in pattern making, so I was like, Okay, I'll just drape, and I'll sew as I pin it.

The great thing is that young talent isn't tied to a how-to model for starting a line we get to find new ways to go about doing things. And don't let people tell you you can't. Go find a way to show that you can.

I don't think fashion week will go back to what it used to be because people are realising that the industry is completely changing.

It's not so much about these editors, these buyers.
